Update.....

We just got an update. To our surprise Patel came out in scrubs. He scrubbed in. You go Patel!!! He said Dr. Dowski was rolling his eyes at him. Patel said he is stable. Three fourths of the tumor is isolated. They are having to make another incision to go at it at a different angle. The tumor is laying on the vertabrate. He has a chest tube, IV in the foot, NG tube and a foley. They have three units of blood waiting and his platelets are 160. He said he will need blood and platelets. Surgery should take another hour and a half. The feel I got from Patel was things are okay. I still feel good about everything. It is going to be a long haul but we will get through it. I will update in a little while
